use?

Wanqi Linmu said lightly: "How can a fussy person like me be taken advantage of?"

"It's just..." Wanqi Linmu turned his head and looked at Luo Shen, his voice paused for less than a second, "It's just the relationship between spending money and doing things."

Tongtong paid and Wanqi Linmu agreed to help her find wood.

We agreed not to ask why.

Wanqi Linmu looked at the dark hospital bed through the door of the ward.

The winter sky has turned completely gloomy. The ward with the thick curtains drawn has a heavy air, and the medical testing equipment makes a "beep...beep..." sound.

So routine, so numb.

Wanqi Linmu slowly raised his hand and placed his slender palm on the rectangular transparent glass.

Suddenly he said without any clue: "Mr. Luo, let's make a bet."

"bet?"

Luo Shen turned around and accurately captured the location of Wanqi Forest.

Wanqi Linmu nodded: "Bet."

"If I win," a smile appeared on Wanqi Linmu's face, and his smile was light and lazy, with a kind of laziness: "Mr. Luo will choose the highest price for erecting a monument in our cemetery, 250,000 yuan for the monument, and management

The fee is 5%.”

Luo Shen didn't speak immediately, just smiled.

Tapping his chin with his index finger, Wanqi Linmu said, "Just bet..."

Ding dong——

【Welcome】

The door of the coffee shop was pushed open.

"Mr. Luo, you are here again!"

The waiter greeted him enthusiastically, smiling excitedly but shyly: "Mr. Luo, there are new strawberries in the store today, they are very fresh..."

The waiter was stunned and looked at Luo Shen in surprise: "Huh? Mr. Luo, didn't you bring a musical instrument case today?"

Luo Shen was wearing a black windbreaker and black sunglasses, but his inseparable "signature" musical instrument case was missing...

Happy Cemetery.

The sky on the outskirts of the city was gloomy.

It may snow today, and the thick clouds can be seen clearly even though it is already dark, like a heavy stone brick wall pressing down on the top of the head.

Depressed.

Can't breathe.

"boss!"

The security guard poked his head out from the security booth and caught Wanqi Linmu at a glance, waving his hands and his voice full of energy.

"Boss! You're back!"

"Did that strange customer do anything to the boss?"

"Hey, boss? What is that in your hand?"

Wanqi Linmu passed under the flashing neon signs of "Pap-Cap-Pap-Cap", just like when he went out, but there was an extra black box in his hand.

Like a musical instrument case.

【Welcome!】

【Welcome to Happy Cemetery!】

Wanqi Linmu entered the office building carrying the musical instrument case and closed the big iron door with a "boom" sound.

An old-fashioned chandelier has been repaired in the office building and hangs on the jagged purlins on the roof.

"Squeak——"

"Squeak - ah -"

The winter wind that rushes in through the cracks in the iron door pushes the old-fashioned chandelier. The dusty yellow light is like the chaotic eyes of an old man, casting a decaying light...

Under the dim light, a little girl in red, with her back to the forest of Wanqi, stood under the huge words in blood, seemingly in a trance.

——Hell is empty, the devil is in the world.

Wanqi Linmu didn't hesitate and strode over.

"Bang!"

He threw the instrument case casually on the desk, causing a cloud of dust to rise.

"I brought the Wuqi wood you asked for."

"Really?!" Tongtong turned around in an instant, and the dilapidated light shone on Tongtong's immature face, causing her facial expression to be distorted with excitement.

Tongtong ran over excitedly and circled the desk and musical instrument box three times.

"Is it really the Wood of Wuqi?"

"Did you really get it?"

"I...my wish is about to come true?"

Wanqi Linmu folded his arms and leaned on the corner of the desk. His voice was lazy, as if he didn't want to bother to speak: "Open it and take a look, won't you know?"

"Yes...yes!"

"Open, open, open and see..."

"Bang!"

The moment Tongtong touched the instrument case, Wanqi Linmu suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed on the instrument case, stopping Tongtong's movement.

"Let's make an agreement first," Wanqi Linmu pressed his hand on the musical instrument case, playing the little finger to the index finger in sequence as if playing the piano, and his tone was unmistakable: "Pay the money with one hand, deliver the goods with the other hand, Wuqi Zhimu is here,

The eight hundred and twenty-five thousand yuan you owe me must also be paid."

Tongtong slowly raised her head, seemed to have calmed down, and said tentatively: "Speaking of which, big brother...how did you get the Wood of Wuqi?"

Wanqi Linmu said nonchalantly: "Luo Shen asked me to go to the hotel."

Tongtong was surprised: "Hotel?!"

Wanqi Linmu's words were shocking, and he continued to say in an indifferent tone: "While he wasn't paying attention, I stole the Wuqi Wood..."

"Stealed?!" Tongtong was even more surprised.

Wanqi Linmu smiled, with a hint of ruthlessness unique to modern people. He slightly squinted his dark eyes and spoke in a low voice, but it was extremely seductive.

"Don't worry about how I got it, isn't your purpose the Wood of Wuqi?"

"Ka-cha..."

The instrument case slowly opened.

Wanqi Linmu opened the musical instrument box bit by bit, just like the slow motion in a movie, which tickled people's hearts.

The black beast's fangs slowly opened, revealing the colorful threads in the musical instrument box, as well as the ancient costume doll lying quietly in a deep sleep.

——A doll carved from Wuqi wood.

Wanqi Linmu had a faint smile, and his clear voice continued to echo in the empty office building, bringing up echoes layer by layer.

"Let's carve words on it, don't care about the means, don't think about the consequences, because... the wood of Wuqi is yours now."

The voice of Wanqi Linmu seems to have some magic power.

"Mine..." Tongtong murmured and repeated: "Mine... it's - it's mine... yes, it's mine -"

"call--"

Streams of invisible smoke emitted from Tongtong's body. It was smoke that no one else could see, even if one had a discerning eye.

Only Wanqi Linmu can sense it.

Because that is the breath of emotion.

It doesn't smell like popping candy during the day, nor does it smell like moldy dried squid. It has a strong spicy flavor.

Spicy.

Stimulate.

Sharp and strong!

It’s the breath of desire…

"ten years!!!"

"Ten years - ten years -"
